Structure-activity relationships of estrogens: effects of esterification of the 11 beta-hydroxyl group.

abstract：:The synthesis of 13C-labeled steroid hormones is reviewed. Two general approaches are highlighted: partial synthesis in which part of the steroid nucleus is replaced with 13C-labeled synthons, and total synthesis. Examples from both approaches, leading to (3-(3)C)-, (4-(13)C)-, (3,4-(13)C2)-, and (1,2,3,4-(13)C4)- lab...
